Introducing TPEllen, Toronto Public Library’s new virtual assistant, an extension of TPL’s excellent public library service. Starting Tuesday April 3 and available to borrow at all our 100 branches with a library card. See what TPEllen can do for you! http://ow.ly/v6Sg30jdMhT | Toronto Public Library

Tools of the trade. 📚🛠️ We preserve TPL’s history not just because it’s a vital part of Toronto’s history. We also preserve our past because, as one of the oldest public libraries in existence, we’re stewards to the history of libraries at large. These everyday artifacts are part of a mini display on the 5th floor of Toronto Reference Library in the Marilyn and Charles Baillie Special Collections Centre, where scholars and anyone else can access one-of-a-kind research collections. #LibraryLife
